Kyle detached and unwaveringly ignored his question "Move now, you have no right to question me."he said in a low, dangerous grunt. But Alex could care less.
"You are the reason why she's like this now and a couple of other times." Kyle looked confused. "Oh you didn't know. Wow some hero you are."
"Guys it's alright " Ayla said with all the strength she could muster.
" No, it's not ok Ayla. You are out here playing the hero while she's suffering from within."
"This is the first and last time this and will happen"
"Oh then l guess, it would hurt if we confirm from her, right" Alex said "Go on ask her" he nudged
"Alex stop I'm hurt" Ayla trying to dodge the question.
"Let's shut him up for good, Ayla tell him this is the first time and the offenders will pay the price heavily" Kyle turned to Alex as he said the last line.
"That I don't doubt" Alex supported.
Kyle looked at Ayla expectantly but she couldn't meet his eyes. "Ayla?" He spoke and she faced him, his eyes getting hers. She didn't need to say anything, her eyes said it all.
"It's not your fault" she muttered, lowering her eyes, not daring to meet him. She couldn't stand the break in his voice and it wasn't directly his fault.
"Now who is lying huh."
Kyle's face went through a series of emotions
Anger, hurt and guilt. He didn't know how to deal with what he just uncovered.
"Take her," he told Alex quietly.
Alex wasted no time scooping her up from Kyle' and rested her gently on his chest. It hurt her a bit but she endured it.
"Kyle" she began but she didn't get to complete her words.
He walked out the guilt too much for him to bear. This was all his fault. The way he didn't even know how long this had been going on
and to think it was right under his nose. Her pain, her bruises all him. Ayla didn't trust him enough; she went through all of that on her own. God knows what she faced.
"Boss" the guard bowed to him as he opened his car door, " What are we going to do about her?"
Alex didn't respond his eyes cold and murderous as he got on the car and sped off
....
"Why did you do that" Ayla angrily asked
"He needed to know" Alex said carrying her with utmost focus
"It wasn't yours to tell. Put me down know"
"Don't be stubborn you are hurt" But Alya wasn't listening she began kicking and screaming using any little bit of strength she had left, but she had little to none left so her screams sounded like a dying cat and her kicks barely grasped Alex.
"Okay, calm down, calm down." He held her tight and closed her mouth with his hand"I'm sorry for what I did but you need to see the nurse you're bleeding up. I'm going to let you go but promise not to scream, alright now there."
"Ahhhhhh"Ayla shouted but he covered her mouth again.
"I guess we just have to go like this, don't you think?"
Ayla signaled him and he removed his hands but she didn't scream again, she was far too tired.
The remaining walk to the office was silent. Alex talked at first but stopped after sometime seeing that she needed it.
They got to the clinic and Alex carried her inside, placed her in the bed and sat by her side.
"What happened to her" the nurse asked putting on her gloves.
"Not your problem"
"I need to know so I would know how to treat her.
Alex gave her a quick once over. Her clothes are too short and tight for a nurse and a few of her buttons loose. He laughed internally
"Fucking treat her right now. Don't make me angry, you know how I can get" he gave her a menacing glare.
She got to work almost immediately, giving Ayla the stink eyes once or was it twice. Ayla winced in pain everyone and they and Alex warned her
"You stupid nurse, you can't even do your job properly. " She bit her lips in frustration.
She cleaned her wounds, applied medicine and bandaged it up. "All done!"
Ayla stood up and checked her reflection in the tiny mirror beside the bed. Her face was cleaned up but she still has a few traces of blood and had little small cuts bandaged. Her hair was disheveled. Her right arm looked pretty bad, probably broken. Her foot was aching badly and she was still wearing Kyle's coat.
"But you will still need to go to the hospital for a proper body check up and change the bandages from time to time. The wounds aren't that deep but it could lead to something else if you don't take care of it well. Take care of yourself, your body wouldn't be able to handle this again alright?"
Ayla gave a small polite nod " Thank you, Nurse Isabel "
She walked her with Kyle at her back. He had just opened the door for her to pass through when nurse Isabel spoke.
"Wait, don't go yet, Mr Alex. I need to speak to you"
"I don't have time" Alex said as he ushered Ayla out.
"It has something to do with her"
That got the both of them to turn. They slowly turned their heads back inside the room
"What about her?" he asked impatiently
"I prefer it was private, huh" She signaled him with her eyes and he immediately understood.
"I have to talk to her, I'll meet you down the hall. There's a chair there so sit and wait for me, okay!" He whispered.
"You can't be serious" she whispered too
"I need her to tell me what's this about and she won't given you present. Don't worry I'll be as quick as possible and tell you everything." He assured her "Also take off that coat, here have mine."
"No" she backed away physically from him. "It just feels warm" she smooths over.
He nodded and gave her a quick peck leaving her a little shocked.
"Wait for me" she shouted as she walked away.
Inside the room
"What now, Isabel" Alex impatiently asked the nurse.
"Alex" she said in a slow and seductive voice. "I missed you" reaching out for him.
"He held her hand just as it was about to touch him and squeezed it hard "Speak"
"You're no fun" she yanked his hands of hers. "I got an Intel on Colonel Gaius, he's headed to Mexico this week and rumors is he is with a heavy parcel ."
"That instantly pecked Alex curiosity" Isn't he working for the Don"
She took out what looked like a liquor bottle and sipped it "Rumors"
"No, don't do that. You can't be caught in work. You focus on your part and I'll do the rest"
She dropped the bottle hoarsely " This is already moving quickly, phase 1 is all over and nothing to show for it. We need the girl now or else we are toast."
"Don't worry my dad will buy us some time and I already have a plan" He said confidently although his eyes told a different story. "Fuck" He threw a vase out of anger running his hands over his hair"If not for the Carter's we should have had her by now, this won't have been a problem. The things I plan for them."
"Relax, big dog. You seem so tense" running her hands over his body till they stop at his
"What me to cool things off" she stands suggestively, her bra already pecking through.
"Fuck this" he threw her hands off and left there.
"Oh you'll be back" calm. She knew how to play the game and her cards were always right. Let's see who pushes who.
"Come on Ayla we need to go" he grabbed her as soon as he left her office.
"Hey, what happened in there and slow down you're hurting me."
That caught his attention, he instantly slowed his pace. "Sorry Al"
She didn't reply "What did nurse Isabel say?"
"Just some stuff about your injury, nothing to worry about."
"Okay" she didn't want to press further but she noticed something was off. "Where are we going, Alex"
"You're going home."
"No I can't school isn't over"
"School is over when I say it is and my family practically owns the city, remember"
"Way to be humble about it, cocky bunch "
"O you'll soon know cocky" he smirked internally.
"I'm not cocky, just stating the obvious, here we are."
They were in front of the school standing close to his BMW. His driver opened the door and he gently put her in.
"Bye, beautiful " he gently caressed her face.
"Why are you not coming?" She gently removed his hands. She didn't feel comfortable enough to let him touch her face.
"Sadly no, I have some business to attend to. You don't know how much I want to be with you right now, but duty calls right."
"But how will you go, you just gave your car over to me" she asked, fidgeting with her hands. It was a bad habit she had for a while now whenever she was . And right now she was uncomfortable as hell.
"That's my ride. He said to an all black Rolls Royce speeding towards them. The car only slowed down an inch to them and made a slick reverse. She was impressed.
"Phillip will be taking you home today. Phillip, if anything happens to the Miss I will take the heads of ten of your lives, got it?"
I laughed ready to play it out as a joke but Phillip bowed affirmatively.
"I'll call you later, alright," I smiled as our car sped off.
